Directorate of Measures and Precious Metals, in the framework of the Action Plan for 2015 for EURAMET Focus Group on Facilitating National Metrology Infrastructure Development (EURAMET FG-FNMID), hosted the „Training and Workshop on Principles of Strategic Management (Part II)” in Belgrade, from March 12 to 13, 2015.

Lecturer was an expert from the National Metrology Institute of Germany (PTB) Mr. Oliver Karkoschka.

Results of previous training held in December 2014 were analyzed. Different aspects related to planning further activities in work and strategy for the future development of national metrology institutes were considered: needs analysis, priority areas for development, measurement capabilities, human resources and organizational capacity to develop, as well as prospects for further development in the broader sense.

The outcome of this action is of great importance not only for members of EUROMET and their associated members (as support in the preparation of the elements in relation to their development strategy) but also for EURAMET itself, because the knowledge of the development needs of EURAMET members is crucial for planning capacity building activities and strategic research.
